This our 2nd stay here. Our 1st last year 2024 n this year 2025. We actually stayed here on both times to attend Navy graduation. The hotel location is convenient to Navy base n stores as well as restaurants. Reservations staff n hotel staff are wonderful. Their information about everything concerning our stay was very clear n that includes rides. Rooms were clean n tidy n enough towels. Breakfast was AWSOME n on time.I can honestly say that this hotel never left any information out that would allow us to complain of anything. Really enjoyed our stay n the service.
